Hello My Dear Darling Friends!

I hope you had a GREAT day today!  I am really pleased with the way my routine is coming together.  I sleep well at night and get a nice early start. After my cup of coffee I am super productive at work.  Around the time that I start slowing down and feeling restless I do my workout and it all works out!

Today’s Workout:  Booty + Hip opener yoga

Active Warm-up:

This really was a fun warm-up and was NOT what I expected at all.  Try it out, I think you will be pleasantly surprised 🙂

5 Min. ROUND Booty + Hips Workout:

This was a fun and effective workout that built on my warm-up.  I especially enjoyed the punch and kicks!

5 Minute Butt-Firming Workout:

These moves were quick and effective and worked my booty from every single angle!

10 Minute 6-Pack Workout:

This was 10 minutes nonstop full of exercises.  I could feel the burn!  I had to take some breaks, but I made it through!  I am looking forward to the day that I can do this entire workout without stopping!

Barre Fitness for Bum and Legs:

I love doing ballet workouts because they help me work on my poise and posture.

Inner Thigh (Groin) Stretch:

I think I pulled my groin yesterday so I decided to do this gentle stretch.  Hopefully I will be feeling better soon.

Easy Hip-Opening Stretches | 15 Minutes

I swear this felt like the longest 15 minutes in my life, but I know it was good for me.  All yoga routines have been feeling very long.  Like they are holding the stretches FOREVER and 1/2.  I think the coffee is contributing to these feelings, but also probably the fact that I do not have a yoga mat yet.  The floor in my house is brand new, but very hard.  No complaints of course, but I am looking forward to getting a yoga mat and a foam roller soon!

After my workout, I eat lunch and then I go for a walk.  Today I walked a total of 3 miles sporadically throughout the day.

Today’s Word of the Day is:

keelhaul– verb

1. To punish (someone) by dragging them through the water under the keel of a ship, either across the width or from the bow to the stern.
2. To punish or reprimand severely.

Ouch!  I cannot imagine undergoing that kind of punishment!  Thanks for joining me for today’s Workout and Word of the Day!  We are making this a regular thing and I am loving it!  See you tomorrow!
